Black and White photograph affixed to 4X6" card stock.
This view across some of the Blocks in Subdivision X-11-C, looking to the northeast, gives an idea of how each Subdivision looked after removal of all earth from the Blocks down to the village floor and before the profile walls were removed.
The area beyond the Blocks is the first terrance through which streams previously referred to flowed, the clump of trees at the right center background marks a high point of a natural ridge which stands upon the first terrace and which is probably an errosional relic. There is some reason to believe that an early cabin may have once stood where these trees are today. This is actually not an unreasonable possibility for the old road from Newburgh to Evansville once ran just to the right of these trees and followed closely the edge of the bank forming the north side of the "chute" between the mainland and Three Mile Island. While putting our first, deep, test trenches across the old stream bed just to the
right of this picture, we found sandstone slabs which had once supported the ends of a bridge which spanned this stream years ago. All of the old houses on the several tracts involved in the property were along the edge of the second terrace.
